It is difficult to blame modern parents for not spending as much time with their children as they should.
The reality is that a significant income is required to provide a decent life for a family.
However, sometimes children need parental attention so much that it is worth taking timely measures.
What are the main signs of the problem?
Excessive attachment and love for other adults
If a child does not receive enough attention from his parents, he will try to find love "on the side". Therefore, children may experience too strong an attachment to other adults - grandparents, teachers and educators.
Bad behavior
Experts note that various tantrums, bad behavior in public places and educational institutions may indicate that the child is trying with all his might to attract the attention of his parents.
Instead of immediately punishing for this, it is worthwhile to understand the reason for the bad behavior. If it is a lack of attention, then it is worth starting to spend more time together.
Health
Children who are deprived of parental attention can grow up very sickly. Even psychosomatic cases are common.
The child notices that adults are around when he is sick. Therefore, physical illness becomes a way for him to spend more time with his parents.
